A Trilogy In the Making!
The Magical, Mystical Musings of Mr. Beaux!
|
Meet Mr. Beaux, my Bodhisattva.
This handsome fella is one of our beloved family members. We recently celebrated his 18th birthday. At the same time we reached a milestone together: We completed the second draft of the first book in a trilogy we are co-creating! This trilogy is based on actual personal events in our lives. It is told from the perspective of a young girl named Emily and our main character, Mr. Beaux. |
In this thrilling trilogy we share fascinating feline facts, dispel cat myths and misconceptions, learn how to locate missing-in-action cats, survive harrowing "hurrications", chat about clicker-trained toads, teach the gifts of animal communication, share insights about my Cherokee heritage, near-death nights, soul contracts, guardian angels for animals, life behind the veil, why some don't need saving, Oneness, and much more!
Who Is Mr. Beaux? |
Have you ever met someone when you least expected it? And not only did you meet them when you least expected it, but they ended up being one of the greatest influences in your life?
I have. Many actually, but the one who surprised me the most was ... A Stranger In Black. |
What is a Bodhisattva? |
The word “bodhisattva” is a compound word formed from bodhi (spiritual awakening, enlightenment) and sattva (a being, essence, spirit). The word can then be translated as “A being set upon enlightenment,” “One whose essence is perfect knowledge,” or “A being whose essence is enlightenment.” The term 'bodhisattva' literally means 'one who has enlightenment as his/her essence'.

Our History |
18 years ago after graduating college at Louisiana State University, I was working at LSU’s veterinary teaching school. One fateful day I happened to walk up to the front desk to receive a drop off. We often received a lot of injured wildlife, but this animal was an injured and exhausted young black kitten.
We had “no room at the inn”, but the staff agreed to hydrate and treat him if one of us could take him home temporarily. I immediately declined; I really was not a huge fan of cats. Plus, I was currently searching for our M.I.A. pit bull, Daisy. – She would have certainly thought this wee kitten was an offering to her! I couldn’t take the chance. Taking this kitten home was not an option. Period. No way. No how. Never. Not me. I took the kitten from the woman’s hands, and held him on my left arm. Looking back now, I realize that I was uncomfortable holding him near me. But before I knew it, this injured and dehydrated kitten was curled up in the crook of my bent arm, fast asleep. My arm ached terribly, but for some reason I didn’t want to wake him. (Note: This was the start of him training me!) My colleagues and the woman who found the kitten continued to pressure me into taking him “for just one night!” The woman who brought him in offered to pick him up promptly the next day after work, “I promise! I’ll get him tomorrow. I just have to get to work. I’m so late!” I very reluctantly agreed. I told her, “One night. That’s it. If I find my dog the cat cannot be at my apartment.” I never heard from this woman again. The next day began the beginning of the rest of my life with Mr. Beaux. |
Mr. Beaux has seen me at my absolute worst, on my darkest days. He has watched me bloom in my brightest hours. As my Twin Flame he can trigger me like no other, yet the day he can ignite passion in me like no other can. Mr. Beaux, with endless patience and kindness, has taught countless children and adults what cats are capable of. He’s watched me learn how to let down my barriers to love, thanks to his persistent ability to love unconditionally. He’s taught me how to truly listen to animals through the heart, how to listen more than speak, how to hear my inner guidance, and how to be the teacher and always the humble student. He’s taught me how truly magnificent and magical cats truly are.
Beaux has taught me more in our 18 years together than any species I’ve ever known. I have learned more from Beaux about life, love, and cats than I ever thought possible. Who knew that a melanistic Siamese could teach a person so much?? I sure didn’t. After all, he was “just a cat”.
